i was wondering how most of you guys with white cars clean them and keep them looking good?
when i bought the car it had some grease marks, cant get them off. i washed and used turtle wax but not too much luck. little better but not gone. also i tried taking the factory stripes. they done come off, and when they do they leave marks. ![]() ![]() ![]() should i try clay and polish? ive NEVER used either so any tips? this is the plan i have in mind: wash usingthis kit pretty much This post has been edited by Malhar95: Nov 18, 2012 - 10:26 PM -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
